Default Did Dixie Carter leave DS or was she fired?

I am curious as to why Mary Ann Moxley took over the role of Maggie. Did something happen?

Correction Brian, she left because she was offered a role on the TV Series Crazy Like A Fox in 1984 which only lasted 2 years and then she went to Designing Women in 1986

Crazy Like A Fox was a great show. It deserved better treatment from CBS then it got.

On IMDB it says that Dixie was in 1 episode of "Crazy Like A Fox ", so you're right she wasn't a main character on the show.

She moved from Diff'rent Strokes to Designing Women.

Mary Ann also appeared in the 2nd season of Diff'rent Strokes as a teacher, right?
